"If fish is important to you, and you’re interested in consuming it raw, there’s one place you should head to first: Sushi Kashiba. This Japanese spot on the outskirts of Pike Place is helmed by legendary chef Shiro Kashiba, who was taught the craft of sushi-making by the subject of a Netflix documentary. And after eating enough otoro, uni, and geoduck nigiri here, we can confirm that this carefully sourced fish makes Kashiba the best sushi spot in town. If you can’t make a reservation, do yourself one better and wait outside the restaurant at 3:30pm until they open the doors at 5:00—which is the only way to get a spot at the highly-coveted sushi counter. Your reward for standing upright for nearly two hours straight will be an outstanding omakase experience to brag about to the stranger next to you on the plane ride home." - Aimee Rizzo, Kayla Sager Riley
